To tell the truth, i am always late for school even though i have been a college student. My dormitory is far from my college, it takes almost 30 minutes. So i have to get up early to reach school on time. But i am a little lazy, so.... Recently, i often go to school in a hurry and the bell always rings before i sit in class. Then my classmates and teacher may stare at me which makes me very embarrased. But the next day the same situation does appear. Therefore, i really love those mornings that without classes. I can sleep a little longer. Are you a time-conscious student or.....

Now I do not go to school now I do a job right now. But earlier when I used to go to school I was actually very rarely late. Those times I used to have a very good routine used to sleep strictly by 10 o clock in the night and woke up by 6 in the morning. By 8:30 in the morning I used to be fully ready and was inside school within 9 am. Now that I am doing a job routine has gone for a toss some day I sleep at 9 pm some day it is 2 am in the morning .............. fully messed up ...... everything pretty much everything.

Being late for a few times i think is just normal but if you did often times i think that would imply that something is wrong with us..especially with regards to time management...If we respect that would tantamount to being respectful as individual..remember, that most of the time, it is not just ourselves suffer or will be affected if we dont follow the time alloted or time of arrival. But,still i admit that there are times that we dont have a choice but to break it. Next time, adjustment, need to be anticipated....and inform those person that will be affected.

When I was still a university student, I was not late, because I always get up early. I like in the morning, when the air is fresh, the walk, take a look at the book. Therefore, I usually school early. Moreover, our very close quarters in the classroom, only about 10 minutes. Perhaps my strong sense of time, until now, I do anything very concept of time.

hi happyforever~ i am a college student too. in fact,i've never late for classes,i think i am a time-conscious student. as a college student,we are supposed to attend our classes on time regularly,if we do not we all fall behind others on the end,we all lost a lot of knowledge,you know it is very important for us~

I like staying in dormitories during my college days. I prefer a dormitory that is near my university so that I can walk and don't get late for my classes. Why stay in a dormitory that is far from your school when you can move into nearer one? You can rest more...you don't have to hurry like that and get late in school.

I was never late for school. I work at a school now and I am never late. I hate when people are always running late. My mother was ALWAYS late for everything she did. We were always waiting and waiting for her to finally get there and it was very annoying and quite rude. I think that people that are always late rude to the others they are disturbing with that. I took the effort to be there on time and so should others. I think that there is always room for the occasional mistake when the unavoidable happens but all the time is just lazy.

Well as far as schools are concerned then I was regular but there were few instances when I was late. But I was well-known for being late in college but it was not because I was lazy but because I used to go by walking even though my parents used to give me money to go by some transport. I just want to save money and so I used to go by walking and used to be late in my college.

I'm a time conscious student but like you I also always get late in school. Our house was 1 hour away from school so I need to wake up early. I move fast so preparing was an easy task for me but still I'm late. I'm not conscious about the time of others and that's what traps me. Often, untimely chores are assigned to me so my own schedule on going to school was affected therefore I get late. But even though I get late, my classmates and teachers don't stare me so I can get embarrased and that act makes me like being a late comer because I think it really doesn't matter to them.

happyforever, You are aware of your late coming to school and your laziness to wake-up earlier in the morning, WHY are you embarrassed then? You can't be doing something deliberately and be embarrassed for it. Why don't you make a wise choice while there is time for you to change. If you are not punctual how do expect to get a job after your degree? Nope! Try to put yourself on others shoes. Will you approve it?
